    Is VS 2008 OK On Vista 64?


    I have just trashed my XP Pro x64 install in a big way. I can re-install
    from an image which is about 3 months old or I can, once again, try Vista
    64. Since I spend most of my life in VS2008 can anybody tell me if it
    installs/runs OK on Vista 64 please?

    This is as bad as it can get, but don't bet on it

    OK, thanks John :-)

    I re-instated my XP x64 image this morning, I had lost all the entries in
    device manager and event viewer had stopped working. A slightly too
    aggressive registry clean :-(
